As always, the Detroit Red Wings have had plenty of
memorable moments during the regular season.

But this season, they might have provided more than usual – both good and
not-so-good.

For starters, they extended their playoff streak to 23
straight seasons – the longest in the four major pro sports.

They did it by overcoming a rash of injuries nobody will
forget. Players who missed long stretches of time include Henrik
Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen, Jonathan Ericsson and Stephen Weiss.

The injuries gave opportunities to youngsters like Riley
Sheahan, Luke Glendening and Tomas Jurco, who proved they're legitimate NHL
players.

Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar also emerged as potential NHL
stars.

And who could forget the Winter Classic?

Of course, there were also moments that aren't necessarily
memorable for the right reasons as far as fans are concerned.

There was the Daniel Cleary saga. It appeared as if the
veteran forward was headed to Philadelphia as a free agent in the preseason before he re-signed
in Detroit and proceeded to have one of the worst seasons of his career.

Like Cleary, Mikael Samuelsson was also a huge
disappointment.

And then there were
the salary cap and roster issues that kept Nyquist in the minors leagues at the
start of the season.

With all that in mind, what will go down as the most
memorable moment – good or bad – during the 2013-14 regular season?

HISTORY

The all-time series between the Red Wings and Blues is dead
even. In 274 meetings, both teams have 281 points although St. Louis has 119
victories to the Red Wings' 118.

In their only meeting this season, the Blues won 4-1 Jan. 20 at Joe Louis Arena as goaltender Jimmy Howard left midway through the second period with Detroit trailing 3-1.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Nyquist has gone five straight games without a goal. That's
his longest drought since he went on a 28-game tear beginning Jan. 20 against St. Louis. He scored 23 goals during that stretch – the most in the NHL during that span.

St. Louis goaltender Ryan Miller, acquired in a blockbuster
trade with Buffalo before the trade deadline, has allowed 15 goals in the last
four games. Like the rest of the Blues, who have lost five straight, he's went
cold at the worst possible time.
